This is a French linen smock from around the 1890s-1920s. The fabric is a thick linen with a firm body and a strong texture characteristic of vintage linen, with a unique nubby feel. The gathering at the sleeves and yoke is beautiful, creating a straight A-line silhouette. The chest buttons are likely glass buttons, with a shell button at the top. The owner's initials are embroidered on the garment. The collar is made of cotton. The body is a wrap-around pattern, with a hemmed slit only on the left side. The sleeves do not have button closures. Hand-sewn stitching can be seen in places, making this a valuable piece that allows you to feel the craftsmanship of the time. The buttons are slightly large for the buttonholes, so some adjustment is needed to fasten them. If you wish to wear the buttons closed, please either replace the buttons or alter the buttonholes. There are some light stains in places, and several areas of damage on the back. Please refer to the images for details. The fabric itself still has plenty of strength, and there is no significant damage that would make it unwearable. Please understand that this item is over 100 years old, and the pattern and care methods are different from those of regular used clothing. We cannot accommodate requests after purchase. Flat measurements in cm, please allow for some error.
